what could he do.
do you think michael jackson is capable of laying drum,keyboard bass and guitar parts on track.
could he make album all alone ?

michael is credited on his records for playing instruments but im not sure he realy does play anything in studio.

if he does tell me at what minute what song i can hear michael jacksons instrumental input in his songs/

I asked my boyfriend this question last night

Well, Quincy Jones was credited for Producer on MJ's albums, and he didn't play any instruments on any of them.

I think MJ is just great at working with Producers to get his "Vision" across. No, he can't play the instruments. But that shouldn't take anything away from his validation of an Artist.

Are there any children in the studio?

In 15 minutes or less, you'd walk in on a flute half stuck in his asshole for sure!

It's not exactly clear just what dude can do, but I think he could pull it off. Just about all the Jackson brothers play and he's clocked plenty of time in and outside the studio with musicians and messing with instruments, so I think he could put something decent sounding together. How tight it would be, I don't know...

U would get a product that would be locked in a vault until the END of time.

I think you'd end up with a lot of pictures of him holding instruments.

That 2.....

I think George Michael is a better Artist whose music has not only been produced, written played and arranged by him, but his music has had more staying power and is even more revered now than he was a decade ago. Can;t say the same with MJ.

Being a fan of both, I say that applies to Michael and George

I'm totally grossed out by MJ, but I think his songs have LOTS of staying power


I think I'll need to listen to GM before outright disagreeing though.

i agree with the getting his vision / sound across to the producers

but mj was a percussionist in the jackson 5 before he became lead singer.
im sure he can drum. as for other instruments i dont know , i heard mj is a decent bass guitar player.

motownlover said:

That's right, he did percussion on some 'Off The Wall' tracks.

Bishop31 said:

wassent he credited for playing instruments on the HIStory album as well?

Imago said:

Like which ones? Billie Jean, Beat it, TWYMMF and Smooth Criminal. That's all that gets really played on the radio.

Imago said:

Damn, you beat me to it. I was going to say stuck halfway down his throat. However, since Michael prefers little boys, he'd use something smaller like a harmonica.

thebanishedone said:

Since he's been around instruments most of his life, he probably can play moderatly various instruments, now I can't guarantee how good he is...

George who ?

krayzie said:

Making noise on an instrument and playing it....are very different.

Graycap23 said:

Who's talking about making noise ?

krayzie said:

That's all Mj would be doing.

Graycap23 said:

There's a big difference between making noise and having some moderate skills...

I don't believe he can't play anything at all....

krayzie said:

His EGO is so big that if he play, u would have done so LIVE somewhere over the past 40 years.
